You are right I was just surprised by the the scoring opportunities Mexico had. Cameron really blows

Well no one blows in the World Cup but you know what I mean

Why is there outrage though? He was offside and that should not have been a goal. I thought maybe there was a rule change I wasn't aware of.

Refereeing is really REALLY bad those three games!!!
Two penalties which were not and two goals not given!!!!!!

Nevertheless the worldcup always gets me hyped!!!!
NL Spain is a good one!!!
GREAT goal by van Persie!!!!

Spain is just not that good this year. I'm thinking its either going to be Germany or Brazil in that order. Argentina can do it to but I don't think they will put it all together in time.

Wow!
Silverfuel @ 6/13/2014 4:32 PM
This is embarrassing. If Cassias cannot figure it out, Spain wont make it out of their group. Chile is a dangerous team and the Dutch are not joking around.

Germany dominated in their qualifiers. They were a very young team last time but this time around its a different story.

We (Germany) are up there but to be honest I think we got too many injured/unfit key players!!!
Reus, Schweinsteiger, Khedira, Lahm... plus you need a REALLY great Müller upfront to play a good role this year!!!

I can see Italy go a long way or a team from South America...

I have Uruguay upsetting Spain in my bracket.

At this rate the Dutch can win the whole thing!

If Suarez plays 100%, Uruguay is dangerous. Dutch are beating the shit out of Spain. They might not make it out of the group bro.

Clearly onside. If you just looked at where the attacker was with respect to the defender nearest him, he looked off. But there was a defender on the left wing (bottom of the screen) clearly playing him on.

Criminal behavior by both Nishamura and the entire Brazil squad, who played like violent thugs the entire game.

From Neymar's intentional elbow to the head of Luka Modric, to Gustavo's violent, criminal stomp on Modric's ankle (which might keep Croatia's best player out for the rest of the tournament), to the disallowed Croatia equalizer,

the fix was in on this one.

Croatia was sacrificed to quell any potential social unrest that could have erupted had the hosts lost the opening game.

Croatia outclassed Brazil for stretches of the game and if the cup was played in any other country in the world Croatia would be going into their second match with a point (or three) on the board.

Bullshit.
